PREFACE.
>
^
Szwcx thi^ Annual was first undertaken, nineteen years have
passed away, seven administrations have been summoned to
the councils of the Sovereign, six parliaments have been
elected, and five have been dissolved. Within this period imi-
A tators and plagiarists without number have too often sought
k to intercept the just rewards of an original design, and to
^ sustain a precarious existence by borrowing almost every
feature of typography, language, and decoration. But the turn
|\ of mind which dictated spoliation was naturally incapable of
^ impartiality; and those who appropriated without hesitation
^ the outward features of a successful plan contributed at least
y^ one item to their compilations— the taint of political bias. It is
Q not surprising therefore that this volume, which, during every
ministerial vicissitude since the passing of the Reform Bill,
has aimed at avoiding party tendencies, should hare succeeded
in acquiring public support; and that it should once more
appeal to a Just and generous body of readers with the con-
IQ fidence of an enlarged experience and the sanguine energy of
04 a renewed life.
0) To describe in any preface or introduction the kind of in-
•^ formation which may be found in these pages is now fortunately
• a needless task; every reader who is not already well acquainted
C£) with its purposes and characteristics may be safely referred to
Csj the Table of Contents for the shortest exposition of its objects
* , and the strongest evidence of its utility.

EXPLANATION OF PARLIAMENTARY TERMS
AND PROCEEDINGS.
AMOURNIIENT —See Intemtptimi of the Sittings of Ptf liunent.
AMENDMENT.— See Order.
AVOIDANCE OF A DECISION.— When a motion has been made vpon
which the House hapi>en8 to be unwilling to come to a yote, there are
Cmrmal modes of aroldlng a decision, amongst which are passing "to the
other orders,*' or moring *' the prcTions question." The former means,
that the Hoase shoold—casting aside and taking no flurther ootice of the
matter then befiore it— proceed to the other business appointed for that
day ; the latter, that a rote be prerioasly taken as to the expediency of
coming to any decision on the question raised. If ' ' the prerioas question"
be not carried, the motion to which it referred is only gotten rid of for
the time, whereas a direct negatire to the motion itself would be a pro-
scription of it for the ronainder of the Session, as well as a denial of its
principle. With respect to a BOI, moring that it "be read this day six
months," or this day three months, is a mode of throwing it out without
eoming to an express dedaration ngainst the principle of the measure.
BILLS (PRIVATE).— These are chiefly introduced to enable private indi-
TJdnals, associated together, to undertake woilu of publie utility at their
own risk, and, in a degree, for their own benefit ; but there are other pri-
vate IhIIs, as those of naturalisation, change of name, divorce, or for per-
fecting titles to estates, fire. Generally speaking, expenses, including
the fees, attendant upon a private bill amount to 600/., and frequently to a
■neh larger sum. The fees on a bill for the natnralimttion of a foreigner
are limited to 1001. The class of professional gentlemen who act as solici-
tors in praooting private bills are called ParliaaMntary Agents.
SHJjS (PUBLIC).— a bill is the draft or skdeton of a statute. Any bill
vhicli the Lords can originate may be Introduced and laid on the table bv

the OoBUDoiM no bill can be brongfat ID luiless amotion forleaTcbe prerioaaly
agreed to. PermiMion haTteg been granted, three or fbar members are mp-
polntedto prepare the bill. It Is then brought in and read a first time, nraally
^Itboat amendBMnt or debate, and a day appointed for the second reading,
preTicNuly te which it is printed and a copy ftimished to erery member.
llfce bill, after the aeoond reading, is referred to a Committee of the
whole House, when its details are considered, as its principles were
npon each of its sererat readings. Members are at liberty to discvss ita
principle on any of its stages, bat no one is considered to have de-
clared deeialTely in favoor of its principle aDl«!|is he rapport by his
rote its second reading. In Committee the bill is debated clanse by
elanse, the blanks left for names, dates, nature and amount of penal-
ties, &e. am ftUed up, and sometimes the bill entirely new-modelled.
The next proceeding is, that the Chairman of the Committee should
make a report to the Honse of the changes that the bill has under-
gone, which he does by presenting a eopy of it to the Speaker in
its altered form. The House then re-eonslders the whole measure. Mo-
lions may be made and questions put upon every clause or amendmrnt,
a nd the bill may be even re-committed. After the report of the Committee has
been agreed to, the bill is ordered to be printed. After which it is read a third
time, and forther amendments may then be made. If a new elanae be
added, it is ealled a rider. The last question but one is, that the " bill do
pass;" after this nothing remains except to determine its title, which
used to be a general one for all the acts passed in the Session, but in modem
times distinct titles are nsed for each statute. During the progress of a bill
the Honse may divide on the following questions : Ist , on the second reading ;
Sndfthat it be committed ; 8rd» that the report of the committee be received ;
4th, or that the bill be re-committed; 5th, that it be read a third time; 6th,
that it do pass ; 7th, the title of the bill. These are quite exclusive of any
divisions concerning the particular days to be appointed for proceeding
with any stage of the measure, or of any proceedings in Committee, or any
amendments, or of any clauses added to or expunged ttom the measure in
or out of the Committee. Alterations are not usually proposed in a bill
until after its principle has been dispoaed of tm the second reading.
Immediately after the passing of a bill, the permanent Chairman of
Committees in the case of bills introduced by the Government, or the
mover of the bill in other oases, talces it and proceeds, accompanied by
a few supporters of the measure, to convey it tn the bar of their Lordships*
Honse, desiring their eonourrence. It there passes throqgh the same forms,
except that of engrossing, which has been already done. If the bill be
rejected, noftirther prooeedinga ensue. When the Lords agree with the Com*
nonf in the principle of tbe me««iire, b«t diffto on matters of detail, a con-

Seienlly moceed in edjaBting the difference » bat if both Hotues remain
inflexible, the bill is dropped. The mme proceedings are adopted mutaii*
mutandis when the bill originates in the Upper Honse. Acts of amnesty
areread once only in each Hoose. The bill having thus passed both Honses,
remains with the Lords, exeept in the case of a bill of supply, which is
aent back to the Commons, to be by them presented at the bar of the Lords
to the Sovereign or the royal Conunissioners. The assent of the Ccown is
the final proceeding which converts a bill into an Act of Parliament. No
Act of Parliament can be altered, amended, or repealed dnring the Session
in which it was passed, unless it contain a clanse authorising a departure
from the getHsral rule. (See " Royal Assent.")

BUDGBT (THE).— The Chancellor of the Exchequer makes one general
statement every year to the Houseof Commons, which isiotended to present
a comprehensive view of the financial condition of the country. Some-
tisMs there are preliminary, or supplemental, or occasional speeches!
bat the great general statement of the year has. for a long time past, been
quaintly called '*th0 Budget," fh>m the French bouffett*, by a common
fguie of speech, putting the name of that which incloses, to signify the
thing contained. The annual speech known by that appellation embraces
a review of the income and expenditure or the last year, as compared
with those of preceding years; remarks upon the financial prospects
of the country; an exposition of the intended repeal, modifications,
or iaq>oeition of taxes during the semion; and a detail of the public ex-
penditoze daring the current period, with its grounds of justification.
CABINET.— The government of a state or community is understood to
signify the exercise of supreme authority, and includes the executive, the
legislative, and the judicial powers ; but in popular acceptation it means
only the first of these, the higher and more immediate fhnctions of which
axe exercised by the Cabinet, a select body in whom, forthe time being,
the whole of the royal authority is vested. Its members all belong to the
Privy Council, but do not include a tithe of that body. The Cabinet ia
compoeed of the more eminent portion of the Adminidtration, but it does
not oonsCitute more than a fourth part of those whom a change of ministry
deprires of i^ce, the persons included in that council being rarely less
than ten or more than fifteen. The cabinet being more immediately re*
sponsible for the conduct of public affairs, their deliberations are always
eonsldeied oonfidential, and kept secret even from their colleagues, who
are lean exalted in oiBce. The distinguished individual who fills the sitna>
tion of First Lord of the Treasury, and combined with it sometimes that
of Chancellor of the Exchequer, is the chief of the ministry, and therefore
74 EXPLANATION OF PARLIAMENTARY
of the oaUnet : he is hmomHj ityled, the " PEenyer*** or " Fkiaie MfaiisCer,"
bat more properly designated as " the head of her Majesty's goTernmeiit.*'
It is at his immediate reoommcndation that his eoUeagues are appointed t
and, with hardly an exception, he dispenses the patronage of the orown.
Every cabinet includes the following high oflcers:— The First Lord of the
Treasury, the Ixard Chancellor, the Lord President of the Council, the Lord
Piiyy Sealf the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the three Secretaries of
State. Sereral other ministerial functionaries, however, have seats in the
cabinrt; nerer less than three, and rarely so many as eight or nine of this
latter class, are called to that station. Their oftoes are as follow :— Chief
Commissioner of Woods and Forests, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan-
caster, First Lord of the Admiralty, President of the Board of Oontroul,
President of the Board of Trade, Secretary at War, Paymaster-General of
the Forces, Master of the Mint, Judge Advoeato^Seneral, Postmaster-
General, MasterUSeneral of the Ordnance, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
Chief Jostioe of the Queen*s Bench.* The selection usually flills upon
those amongst the latter mentioned ftinctionaries, whose rank, talents,
reputation, and political weight, render them the most useftal auxiliaries,
or whose services, while in opposition, may have created the strongest
claims to the honours of the cabinet. It has occasionally happened that
a peer posseming high character and inluenoe accepts a seat in tha cabinet
without undertaking the labours and responsibility of any particular
oMee. Although this select coonoil has now been regarded during seveial
generations as an essential part of our polity, yet it still oontinnes to be
unknown to the law. The names of the noblemen and gentlemen who
compose it are never officially announced to the public. No record is kept
of its resolutions or meetings, nor has its existence ever been recogniied
by any act of parliament. (See Crown, Executire.)
CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES OF THE WHOLE HOUSE.— In the
Commons this officer— always a member — ^is dected by the House on the
assembling of every new Parliament. When the House is in committee on
bills introduced by the goremment, or in committee of ways and means,
or supply (see Committee of Supply), or in committee to consider prelimi-
nary resolutions, it Is his duty to preside i he sits, not in the Speaker's
chair, but at the table in the seat of the Clerk of the House. On divisions,
when the numbers happen to be equal, he giTCs the casting Toice, but in
committees he never otherwise votes. In the Lords, the Chairman of Com-
mittees of the whole House is elected by the House every Session.

TEKMS AND PR0CBBDIN08. 75
CSELTBBN HUNDREDS.— An aoceptanoe of '* the ChiUerai Hundreds '*
t« 4 ftHrm whidi has now no other meaning than that the Member accepting
rerigns liis seat. No offlce, having emolument attached, can be conferred
bf the Crtfwn on a Member of the House of Commons without his thereby
Tacating his seat, and it is only by obtaining oflBce that a Member can rid
himself of the duties which any body of constituents may impose even with-
out his consent ; the Crown, therefiore, for the convenience of the House
at large, is alwaysready to confer on any Member " the Stewardship of her
Majesty's Chiltern Hundreds, the Stewardship of the Manor of Poynings,
of East Hendred and Northstead, or the Escbeatorship of Mnnster ;" sine-
cures which he continues to hold till some other Member solicits a similar
aeconuDodation. Many o£Bces, however, though in reality government
appointments, are not directly conferred by the Crown, but by the heads of
the several departments; of this number are certain of the British Mini-
sters accredited to Foreign Courts, and some of the Deputy Secretaries.
Ihe acceptance of such offices does not necessarily deprive a member of his
seat in the House of Commons.
CLEBK OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—" The Cleik of the Commons'
House of Parliament" holds an office of great trust and importance. He,
with two assistants, sits at the upper end of the table. The Crown ap.
points him by letters patent, and, when necessary, he can appoint a
deputy. The appointment of the other clerks in the service of the House
is vested in him. It is his duty to make minutes, not of the arguments
hdd in the House, but of the decisions at which it arrives— in other words,
to record its votes, resolutions, addresses, orders, reports, divisions, and
all other proceedings in which it may be engaged; to see that they are
correctly printed and distributed to the members, to read aloud all such
documents as the House may order to be read, to perform the duty (without
taking the chair) of president or moderator during the choice of a Speaker,
putting a quejttion and directing a division in the same manner as a
chairman would.
COMMITTALS.— In common with courts of law and equity, the Houses
of Parliament can punish all contempts of their authority or disobedience of
their mandates. Each House is armed with power to repress any aggres-
aion committed upon their rights, or any interference with their privileges :
but in the case of the Commons the operation of this power is limited to
the session of Parliament, comnUttals by that House being invalidated
by n prorogation. Either House can delegate to a Committee the power
of sending for papers and records, and of enforcing the attendance of
necessary witnesses.
76 EXPLANATION OP PARLIAMJSNTARY
COMMITTEES— Are, first, those of the whole House, which may be
to ooniider of certain Resolatioiis, as to the nature of which considerable
latitude prevails ; or the House resolres itself into such Committee to con-
sider the details of a Bill, the principle of which may be discussed at any
or all of its other stages; or there may be Committees for financial purposes
as those of "Supply," or "Ways and Means" (which see). Secondly,
There are Select Committees chosen by ballot or otherwise for some specific
purpose— the numbers composing such bodies seldom exceed twenty or
thirty members; occasionally these are declared Committees of Secrecy.
Thirdly, Election Committees, which are judicial tribunals, appointed to try
the merits of controverted elections— these are always chosen by ballot.
Fourthly, Committees on private Bills (which see) . When the whole House
is in Committee, the Speaker vacates the Chair, the Mace is placed under
the table ; and some other Member is called on to preside, who sits in the
seat of the senior Clerk. For Committees of Supply, and Ways and Means,
and Bills introduced by Ministers, there is a Chairman, who receives a
salary. (See Chairman of Committees.)

CONFERENCE.— This is aspedesof negotiation between the two Houses
of Parliament, conducted by managers appointed on both sides, for the
porpose of producing concurrence, in cases where mutual consent is neces-
sary ; or for the purpose of reconciling differences which may have arisen.
If the conference be upon the subject of a trill depending between the two
Houses, it must be demanded by that House which, at the time of asking
the conference, is in possession of the bill. It is the sole privilege of the
Lords to name the time and place fbr holding a conference, no matter by
which House it may have been demanded. Reasons in writing for the
course resolved to be taken, are usually iVimished to the managers on both
sides, in which case it is simply called '* a conference." Should this proceed-
ing fail, a *' free conference " must be held, which gives an opportunity
for the managers individually, and unrestrained by any precise form of
argument, to urge such reasons as in their judgment may best tend to
influence the House to which they are addressed. A firee conference is
Usually demanded after two conferences have beenholden without effiect.
After one tne conference, none other but ttee conferences can be held
touching the same subject. In May, 1851, it was agreed both by Lords
and Commons, that reasons respecting differences of opinion on any bill or
other proceeding might be conunnnicated to either House by message fh>m
the other, and that no conference need take plai-^ unless specially requested.
At all conferences, the managers on the part of the Upper House are
seated and wear their hats; those for the Commons stand uncovered. The
Speaker quits the chair of the House during the absence of managers
attending a conference.
TERMS AND PROCBEDIWGS. 77
CROWN.— The inrerogatives and functions of the Crown may be aammed
■p under the following heads:— To give or reftiM to bills the *' Royal
Assent " (which see) ; to caose the due administration and execution of
the laws ; to act on behalf of the whole community in its Interooorse with
VsXtign States, and as a part of that, to declare war or conclude peace ; to
direct the naval and military force of the country } to administer the public
revenue ; to prorogue or dissoWe Parliament ; to create peers; and tnooin
money. The monarch is the head of the Church ; the source of Justice and
of mercy, of allofflces, honours, emoluments, and chartered rights. But in
every ense the sovereign acts by ministers who are amenable to Parliament,
and the choice of those ministers is the only prerogative, which can be
oonstitntionnlly exercised without responsible advisers; but even over
this, there is much Parliamentary controul, for the royal favour can have
ao practical effect, unless it rest upon men whose characters and measures
prove generally acceptable to both Houses (see Cabinet).

ESTATE OF PARLIAMENT.-Strictly speaking, the three <' Estates of
the Realm" consist of, 1st, the Lords Spiritual ; 2nd, the Lords Temporal i
8rd, the Commons. Parliament ftiUy assemUed consists of the King, with
the two estates of the peerage, sitting in one House, and the Commonalty
by their representatives standing below the bar. But instead of the
three estates of the realm, we are accustomed to speak of the three
branches of the legislature. Neither of the Houses ever deliberates in
the presence of the Sovereign, nor will either of them permit any allusion
in debate to his sentiments. The King, Lords, and Commons, in their
anited character, exercise none but the legislative functions. Taken together,
they are the Parliament, and there can be no act of Parliament in which
they do not concur. (See Royal Assent.) In addition to this legislative
character, common to the three, each has separate functions peculiar
to Itself. In the Sovereign resides the whole executive authority.
The House of Lords exercises Judicial authority as a court of dernier
resort, and as a tribunal to which great officers of state, impeached by
the other House, are amenable.
^»'#>^»^#'»i^#>»i^»^»
EXECUTIVE.— The following comprise the principal departments of the
executive government:— The Treasury, the Admiralty, the War Office, the
Ordnance, the Home Office, the India Board, the Colonial Office, the Board
of Trade, the Foreign Office, the Board of Public Works, Woods and
For^ts, the Mint, the Office of the Privy Seal, the Office of the Duchy of
Lancaster, and the Irish Office. Those offices which are principally r^
78 EXPLANATION OP PARLIAMENTARY
exelasiTely occupied with the ooHection of the public rerena* are tit
Costoou, the Excise, the Stamps, the Post Office, the Office of A-ssesae
Taxes, the Crown Lands, &c The paUic Ihnctionaries to whom the cox
duct in chief of these scTeral departments is entmsted, together yrit
the great officers of the royal household, constitute what Is termei

cumstances, rarely exceeding fifty or sixty persons. They hold thei

In the great majority of offices. The Administration usually resign -vrben
they lose the confidence of either House of Parliament ; or they may be
dismissed by the SoTcreign, and it is competent for either House to
present an address to the throne, praying their dismissal. The members
of a government are understood to concur in principles of legislation and
policy, and co-operate in Parliament upon all matters not specifically
agreed on as open questions. Their acknowledged chief is the First Lord
of the Treasury. When a Commoner, he frequently though not necessarily
combines with that office the Chancellorship of the Exchequer.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.— This branch of the Legislature has not sat in
St. Stephen*» chapel, since the year 1834, when that building was de-
stroyed by fire. From 1885 to 1851 the representatives of the people
held their sittings in what had previously been the House of Lords, but
in 1852 that portion of the Palace at Westminster was taken down, and
the House of Commons, in the early part of the same year, entered into
occupation of a chamber not far from the north end of tbe Palace, built
expressly for their use, and in which their sittings are now beld. That
fvbich is called the strangers* gallery is placed at the lower end, opposite
(h^ chair, and commands a ftill view of the House. Bebind tbe chair Ib a

Moled, and the Hoiue win stand adjourned to 10 o'clock on the foUowing
■Mniing. Down to 1838, the practice wai, that a few minutes before 4
o'clock the Speaker took his seat at the table, the Chaplain read prayers,
the strangers' gallery was then opened, the Members present were connted,
and, aa forty geoeraDy attended, business began. The fact Important to
Tisiton of the House was this, that any Member might, at any time after
U o'dodc, call npon the door-keeper to open the gallery^-a course which
Members frequently adopted for the accommodation of their prirate friends
whencTer a great debate was expected— hence it became difllcalt to ooi^ee-
ture how early the gallery might be filled; but generally speaking it was
■ot opened till 4 o'clock. During the Session of 1838, a material change
|ook place, the House sitting from L2 till 8 o'dock in the afternoon, and
resuming at 6. lids continued to be the practice in 1884, and was ooca-
simially resorted to in 1836. At first the early sittings were confined to
private business and petitions; but, towards the latter end of the Session,
public business commenced at noon, and was continued generally tiU long
after midnight, with the exception of the hours ftrom 8 to 6. For some
years past, howcTcr, the old practice of not commencing business till 4 in
the afternoon has been generally obserred, with the exception of Wed-
nesdays, when the house sits ftom IS till 6. All Peers, distinguished
foreigners, &c. are accommodated below the bar, besides those who are
fortunate enough to obtain Orders from the Speaker.
HOUSE OF LORDS,!— The strangers' gallery, as in the Commons, is not
opened till after prayers, and strangers are excluded during divisions.
Their Lordships frequently sit during the day as a Court of Appeal, but do
not usually assemble in Uieir legislative capacity until five in the after-
noon, unless upon the opening or closing of the session, which generally
takes place at two o'clock ; or when the royal assent is to be given to Bills
1^ commission, on which occasion their Lordships meet earlier than the
eastomary hour, but for this purpose no precise time has been established
by usage. While sitting in their judicial capacity, the House, like other
courts of Justice, is open to the public.
INTBBRUPTION OF THE SITTINGS OF PARLIAMENT.— The pro-
eeedings of the legislature may be interrupted or suspended either by ad-
journment, prorogation, or dissolution. Adjournment, as the term imports,
if a postponement of the sitting orproceedings of either House of Parliament
ftum one time, to another speeified for the reassemblage. When the sittings
of both Houses are interrapted by royal authority, it is called prorogation.
Dissolution puts an end to the representative character of the individuals,
who at the timeeompose the House of Commons, as well as to that of the si''
80 EXPLANATION OP PARLIAMENTARY
teen Scottish Peers, and Parliament cannot again assemble until after h
general election. The power of acyonnunent is inherent in each Honse re-
spectively, and no precise restraints upon this power are prescribed hj
the conrtitotion. Either House may interrupt or pcwtpone any debate, defer
the consideration of any measure, or altogether adjourn its sittings. The
Lords frequently ai^ourn *' during pleasure," which means that the Lord
Chancellor or other Speaker of the House may, in the exercise of his
discretion, take his seat on the woolsack, two other Peers being present,
and cause business to proceed at any hour within the day on which saeli
ad^*ournment " during pleasure' takes place, otherwise their Lordshlpa*
House will stand adjourned to the usual hour on the following day; bat
usage has fixed fi?e o'clock, p.k., as the time for resuming after all
adjournment " during pleasure." The Commons, on the contrary, always
ctd^oum to a time specified. The Speaker of that House may, in confor.
mity with the preriously expressed wish of the body over which he pre-
sides, leave the chair during any number of hours; but such proceeding is
merely regarded as a temporary suspension of business, and not called an
adjournment. (See House of Commons.) The a4}oumment of one
House is no adjournment of the other. The Crown may, pending an
adjournment, summon by proclamation, either House or both ; and may
direct either or both Houses to adjourn to any particular day, which
direction has always been obeyed to the letter; but some Members,
and even some writers of authority, have denied the existence of such
a prerogative, yet it has been frequently exercised, and never resisted.
It is contrary, however, to modern usage. An individual member may for
the time interrupt the progress of business, by successive motions of
a^oumment, which may be repeated indefinitely; but the adoption of this
course rarely has the effect of delaying proceedings for more than 'a single
day. In Committee, to move that the Chairman report progress is equiva*
lent to moving that the debate be then adjourned. Adyonrnment does not
close the session ; prorogation does not terminate the Parliament ; the
former is an act of either House ; the latter an act of the Crown, the dura-
tion of which may be subsequently extended or curtailed, according to the
royal pleasure. All unfinished proceedings are quashed by prorogation ;
but during an adjournment they remain t'n statu quo. Prorogation never
extends beyond eighty days (see Privileges of Parliament), but fkesh
prorogations may take place from time to time by proclamation, and continue
to be renewed till it is intended that Parliament should really assemble for
the despatch of business. The Crown, by proclamation, may, notwithstand-
ing a prorogation, summon Parliament on giving fourteen days' notice.
Dissolution is the civil death of the Parliament, and may be effected by
the pleasure of the Crown, by the demise of the Crown, or by length of
time. The existence of a Parliament cannot be prolonged, even by the
TBRMS AND PROCEEDINGS. 81

of the Crown; bat, of conne, it may be diaaolyed by the SoTerrign in a
leu period than six months from the death of his predecessor. If Parlia-
ment at the tinte of the Sovereign's death be separated by a4}onrament or
prorogation, it must assemble immediately. If no Parliament be then in
existence, the members of the last must again meet and may serve as a Parlia-
ment for six months, nnless sooner prorogued ; and so much importanee
appears to be attached to an instant assemblage, thatnpon the dendse of the
Crown even the intervention of Sanday is not permitted to delay the
meeting of both Houses.
LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR.— This distingnished Ainctionary being
keeper of the great seal, is by prescription Speaker of the House of Lords,
and is usually a Peer. When royal commissions are issued for opening the
Session, for giving the royal assent to bills, or for proroguing Parliament,
the Lord Chancellor is always one of the Commissionen, and reads the
royal speech upon the occasion. When the Sovereign opens or closes the
Session in person, the Lord Chancellor stands on the right of the throne,
and hands to the Monarch the speech opening or terminating the annual
lalwurs of the Legislature.

NEWSPAPER REPORTING^— A century ago there wu Bo publication
irliich could properly be said to contain a satisfaetory account of parliament
tary proceedings ; and even within the recollection of many persons now
alive the debates were but very imperfectly reported. From the oommence-
mentof the American war, however, till the year 1814,a gradual improve-
ment took place in the publication of debates, until at length the art of the
Reporter, and the business of the Publisher, wen prosecuted with a degree
of sncoess, the elfects of which will continue to be felt so long asfteedom and
civilization exist in England. When the closeof the warin 181S diminished
at once the supply and the importance of foreign intelligence ; when the
public attention became directed with almost exclusive anxiety to domes-
tic affidrs, the publication of Parliamentary debaties appeared to become an
object of national importance, and in the course of a few years assumed its
present fall, detailed, and accurate character. It is contrary to the stand
tag order* of both Houses that any strangers should be present, and a>-
82 EXPLANATION OF PARLIAMENTARY
individual member can demand that the order be enforced ; thepablieatimik
therefore, of d^Mtesis held to be theoretically a breach of pririlege; bat
in modem times, if any member were repeatedly to insist npon the ex-
elusion of '* strangers." as all are called who neither are members nor offiocni
of the House, there can be no doubt that this abuse of the priTlIege must
lead to such a modificatitm of the standing order as would deprive indi.
▼idual members of any controul over a matter so interesting to the nation ,
whose representatives and servants they are, ih>m whose pleasure their
Parliamentary existence and authority are derived, and by whom that autho-
rity would doubtless be speedily withdrawn , were any attempt made to carry
on the business of the public without publicity. 8ecret deliberations have
been so long renounced, that the right of the public to be present through
their agents, the Reporters, is as clearly established now as if no theoretical
privacy had ever existed. The process of Parliamentary reporting, and the
qualifications of those by whom the task is performed, cannot be adequately
described within the narrow limits of this article, but it is hoped that the
reader may be enabled to form some idea of both from the following brief
outline. Every publication not copying from, or abridging any other, bat
giving original reports, keeps one of a series of Reporters constantly in
the gallery of the Lords and another in the Commons. These, like
sentinels, are at stated periods relieved by their coUeagnes, when they
take advantage of the interval to transcribe their notes, in order to be
ready again to resume tbe duty of note-taking, and afterwards that of
transcription for tbe press. A succession of Reporters for each esta-
blishment is thus maintained, and the process of writing from their notes
never interrupted till an account of the whole debates of the evening
has been committed to the hands of the printer. There are only seven
publications for which a Reporter is constantly in attendance, and these
nckide the London morning newspapers, from which all others that
give debates are under the necessity of copying or abridging them. The
number of Reporters maintained by each varies trom ten or eleven to
seventeen or eighteen. They are for the most part gentlemen of liberal
education— many having graduated at the Universities of Oxford, Cam-
bridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, or Dublin ; and they must all possess a
competent knowledge of the multifarious subjects which come under the
consideration of Parliament. The expedition and ability with which their
duties are performed must be admitted by every one who attends a debate
and afterwards reads a newspaper, while the correctness and rapidity
with which their manuscript is put in type and printed, has long been a
subject of surprise and admiration. Mr. Sheirs speech on the Income
Tax (March Ist, 1845), contains the followingpassage:— " What can be
more unjust than to impose the same Tax upon a man whose income is
derived from hb intellectual toil— whioh may be called the sweat of his
TBRM8 AND PROCfiBDINGS. 83
nisd— «ad apon the man whose inoome is as stable as the earth on which
we tread f can there be a greater injnstice than to tax, in the same propor-
tion, the first liord of the Treasnry and the gentlemen who report his
speech on the Inoome Tax in the gallery of this House f There are men in
that gallery of liberal edacation, and of minds embellished with every
literary adornment, who, by great labour, by great wear and tear of body
and miud, acquire an inoome which falls within the range of the tax,
although it is far firom being commensurate with the ability or the oseftil-
ness of a class to which some of the first men in England hare belonged."
OFFICE (ACCEPTANCE OP).— See ChlltemHondreds.
ORDER.'-By this word is meant an obedience to certain regalations
which are intended to facilitate the despatch of business, and preserTe
deeoram in public deliberations. The rules by which the business of the
Omses of Parliament is conducted are of two kinds, one class they possess
in common with all public assemblies, another is peculiar to themselTcs (see
Speaker, duties of, as also House of Lords, order in). For the proper
application of these rules, it has been found necessary that some ofBoet
should be appoint^, to whose decision deference will be paid. Such an
ofllcer is the Chairman or Speaker. In the House of Comnums (though the
practice in the Lords is otherwise), he takes no part in debate, his dutj
iieing to regulate the manner in which business shall be trajMac,ted} to
confine those who address the House to the real subject under discussion ; to
pronounce an opinion upon any thing relating to order } to put the mattet
in dispute into the form of a question, on which the votes of the body at
large may be taken ; to announce the decision of the minority ; to declare
the proceedings of the assembly closed at the completion of the business of
the day, and to see that they are properly recorded. The first act of the
Member who presides is to intimate that business should commence, whidi
is done by calling on the individual whose motion stands first on the list of
■otioes, or who is otherwise entitled to precedeoce* A motion being made*
it is necessary that it should be seconded, else it falls to the ground. This
done, the terms of the motion are handed in writing to the Chairman, who
reads them aloud. Objections may then be taken. Amongst the several
modes of opposing a motion, are the following— a direct negative, an
amendment, a postponement, proceeding to "the other orders," moving
"the previous question," or an adjournment. A motion which has
been moved, seconded, and read, becomes a sort of property of the whole
body, and cannot be withdrawn without leave. If no objector to a mo-
tion present himself, neither the mover nor seconder has a right to speak
again, except in explanation ; but if an objection be started, a right
of reply if, according to the courtesy of all assemblies, acquired by the
F 2
94 EXPLANATION OF PARLIAMBNTARY
norer of any original motion, bat not by the mover of an amendment ;—
the prlTilege of explanation, however, ia conceded to all. The debate being
ended, either by a pause, or at the manifest wish of a large minority, the
presiding Member pats the question, calling upon those who are fiivoar-
able to say " ay,** and those of a contrary opinion to say " no." He then
declares, that in his judgment the "ayes" or the *'noes*' ** have it." If any
Member should question this decision, the House must divide, the Speaker
•r Chaitman appointing tellers ; in the House of Lords, the phrase is
"content" and *'not content," whilst in most other public assemUlea
the votes previous to a division are taken by show of hands. When
an amendment has been moved, it is usoal to take the votes simply
fbr the amendment, and then for the original motion ; but in Parlia-
ment the practice is that the Speaker or Chairman should read to the
House the original motion, next that he should read the amendment,
and then say, " the question which I am to pat is, that the words pro-
posed to be left out (by the amendment) stand part of the question."
Should the "noes'* prevail, the amendment then becomes a substantive
motion, upon which other amendments may be moved, and considered in
like manner as the first. Thus a number of successive amendments to
the mriginal motion may be disposed of, though no amendment can be
moved upon an amendment ; but all the amendments as well as the
motion itself may be negatived. Any Member is at liberty to interrupt
another by '* rising to order," vis., calling the attention of the chair,
or of the assembly at large, to the fact, that a breach of order was then
being committed. When two or more Members rise at once to address
the House of Commons, the Speaker or Chairman determines who
shall have precedence. In Pariiament it is contrary to order for those
engaged in debate, to mention any Member by name (excepting the
Chairman of Committees). It is also out of order to speak in direct terms of
any proceedings of the other House, unless the; have been formally made
known by " message,* or recorded in the notices, votes, or orders of the
other House. It is also Irregular to refer to the opinions of the Sovereign ;
speeches from the throne and royal messages being treated as the senti-
ments of the ministry, which the Sovereign utters or communicates on
their responsibility.j

ORDER IN THE LORDS.— The rules of order in the House of Lords differ
in some particulars from those observed in the Commons. In debate those
who speak address the whole house, and not the chairman. The Peer who
sits on the woolsack or in the chair of committees has no duties to perform
during the deliberations of the House, excepting to "put the question."
He is not the Judge or guardian of order. If several Peers rise together.

tHe Hoiue decides who shall first be heard. The speaker or deputy
speaker of the Lords is not disqualified «x officio flrom taking a part in

ORIGINATING BILLS.— With the Crown all bills of amnesty originate}
—with the House of Lords all bills relating to a restitntion in blood and to
restitutionof honours:— with the House of Oommonsall bills relating to the
public income and expenditure, and all other measures that can properly
come within the class of " money bills." Bills aftecting the royal prerogatire
are not usually introduced into either House without the previous consent
of the Crown. It is considered unconstitutional tor one House to take the
initiative in any measure affecting the pririleges of the other. In general
it is held that in the Lords should originate bills of " pains and penalties,* *
or other measures founded upon oral testimony, as their Lordships, unlike
the Commons, hare the power of examining witnesses upon oath.

PARLIAMENT.— The Commons are not the Parliament, neither are the
Lads nor the Crown; but the three united are the "Estates," which in
their triple capacity constitute the Parliament, and exercise the legislatire
functions of the realm. A peer is of course as much a member of ParUa<
ment as a commoner, while the Crown is a whole estate of Parliament
centred in the person of an individual. The two Houses convened by
royal authwity, and acting jointly with the Crown, constitute the Legis-
ature or Parliament; audits acts are called indifferently "Statutes'* or
" Acts of Parliament :* they have the ftill force and effect of law. (See
"Bills,' as also "Estate of Parliament.*) The power of Parliament is
held to be transcendent, and subject to no limitation whatever. An Act of
Parliament binds every subject, and even the Sovereign, when specially
named therein ; and no authority less than that of Parliament can dispense
with or abrogate a statute.
PEERS OF FABLlAMZNT^The Feen^B of Great Britain and Irdand
may be described as conatsting of the fallowing parts | the reader, however,
■boald bear in mind that every individual peerage has a locality no matter
vitb what part of tbe empire the existing possessor may otherwise be con-
nected. There are, in the first place, the Peers of England | Sndly, those of
Scotland } Srdly , those of IreUnd } 4thly, those of the United Kingdom j and,

86 EXPLANATION OF PARLIAMENTABY
SooCtUb. It flreqaantly happens Umt Feen of England, or of the Ublted
Kingdom, hold an equal or niperior rank tn the peerage of Scotland or that of
Ireland. In which case, though popularly known by the higher dignity, th^
ttm hare Mats and Tote* in the House as of the inferior rank. Lord Paget
(by courtesy Earl of .Uxbridge) } Lord (by conrte^ Earl) Eruce, heirs re.
spectirely to the Peerages of An^esey and Ailesbury, were called to the
Upper House during their fathers' 11 res. The peers of Scotland and Ireland
hare a place In the House only by their representatires, of which Ireland
sends 28, and Scotland 16. By the Act of Union, no Irish Peer eqjoying a
British dignity can be elected a Representattre Peer. But the case of an
Irish Representative obtaining an EngUsh Peerage after his election was
not adverted tot there are consequently at present some Irish representa.
tires who sit by their Irish dignities, though holding also English baronies.
Of the 25 English and Welsh Bishops, 24 sit as Barons, the Junior mem.
her of the episcopal bench being excluded flrom the House of Lords. The
Bishop ot Sodor and Man is not a Lord of Parliament The Irish Bishops
sit In annual rotation, four every year. The Scottish peers are choaen with
ettrj new FarUament. The tventy-^j^t IrUh temporal peers are elected for

PETITIONS.— There are several regulations reqpecting petitions to Pltflla.
mmt, which, if neglected In any one particular, wUl prevent their reception.
When intended for the House of Lords, a petition must be addressed, ** To the
Bight Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assem.
Ued {" when addressed to the House of Commons, It may be directed, ** To the
Honourable the Knights, Citisens, and Burgesses of the United Kingdom of
Oreat Britain and Ireland tn Parliament assembled i" but more usually tn this
form, ** To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom In Farila-
ment assembled." Its commencement must describe the petldonen thus :
*■ The humble petition of the doctors of the parish of — dioweth that,** &c. {
or. In the case of an individual, his name and occupation must be stated
thus ; ** The humble petition of Jolm Brown, carpenter, dioweth tiiat,** &c.
Tlie statement of grievance must then follow) and the whole must
condude with a specific prayer. The omission of a prayer has often proved
4tal to the reception of a petition, for no mere remonstrance or detail o '
grievance will be received. The prayer should be thus introduced : *< Where-
fore your petltionen humbly pray that your Honourable House will be
pleased to,'* dec., the particular relief expected being here stated. To the

miVILEGES OF PARUAMKKT.— These are of three kinds: lst,tbepri.
Tikges which appertain to members individually ; Snd, those which belong
Id either House in its collective capacity ; 3rd, those of both Houses Jointly.
Tram well known precedents it appears that the Lords and Commons,
acting concurrently, can assume the supreme power whenever the throne
is vacant, or the Sovereign incapable of exercising the royal ftinctlons, as
at the Revolution in 1688} tn 1 783, when the sovereign authority
t oflbred to the Prince of Wales, thou^ George III. recovered so speedily
that a regency became unnecessary } in 1818, when a restricted regency
was appointed } and, subsequently, when the restrictions were removed.
Ihe aeparate privileges of either House are extensive, but they are, at the
sanoe time, uncertain and indefinite. Amongst those privileges are the power
of committing individuals to prison, the power of publishing matters which,
if not Issuing from such high authority, might became the sul^Ject of proceed-
tqgs In a court of law, the power of dii ecting the Attomey.General to prosecute
persona accused of oflbnces against the laws, or affictiog the privilege of Par.
liament, and, finally, a power vested in each House rekpectively of doing any
tUng not directly contravening an Act of Parliament— which m^y be necessary
for the vindication or protection of itself in the exercise of its own constitu.
tional functions. In the dally proceedings of Parliament questions of privilege
■ke pc«cadence of all other business. The privileges of individual members
of Parliament are freedom of speech and person, Includtaig freedom firom legal
arrests and seisures under process from the courts of law or equity ; this, bow

ever, does not extend to Indictable oflbncea, to actual contempt* of Che conrtir-
of Jiuttce, or to proceeding! in tNmkruptcy. Membera of Parliament ai«

Tided for the Commons at that ceremonial until the reign of William TV. Peers

QUESTION.— See Order.
' &OTAL ASSENT.— The act by which the Crown agrees to a bill which
has already passed both Houses is called *< The Royal Assent,'* which may-
be given by the Sovereign in person robed, crowned, and seated on the
throne in the House of Lords, the Commons standing at the bar : or tlie
royal assent may be given by commissioners appointed by the Crown ibr
that special purpose and for the single occasion. The forms olwerved In botfa
cases do not vary, and are as follow :— The Lords being assembled in their
own House, the Sovereign or the Commissioners seated, and the Commons
at the bar, the titles of the several bills which have passed both Houses are
read, and the King or Queen's answer is declared by the clerk of the Parlia.
ments in Norman French. To a bill of supply the assent is given in the
following words >— '< Le roy (or, la rttne) remereU set loyal miffeeUf aceept§
leur bennoUnee et atnrt le iteut," To a private bill it is thus declared :— ** SoU
JtM eomme U est dettri.*' And to public general Mils it is given In theae
terms :— ** fse roy for, la reine) le veut." Should the Sovereign rei'uae his
assent, it Is in the gentle language of ** Le roy (ot^ la retnt) s*tt»lsera *.*' As
acts of grace and amnesty originate with the crown, the clerk expressing the
gratitude of the subject addresses the throne as follows :—f* Lei prilaUt

8ERJ£AKT AT ARMS.— Of oflkers beartng this title, there are sereral |
some are attached to the Court of Chancery ; but there are two appointed by
ttie Crown to attend the Hciuaes of Parliament, and each has a deputy. In
the House of Lords, the practical maintenance of decorum below the bar,
near the throne, and in the gallery, devolves upon the gentleman and yeoman
mher, with their assistants, so that « the Serjeant at Arms attending the
House of Lords" has less conspicuous duties to perform than those which
devolve upon " the Seijeant attending the House of Commons ;" both, how>
ever, execute the commands of the House to which they belong, as regards
One apprehension or custody of all persons committed by order of Parliament.
In tiie House of Commons, the Serjeant at Arms is an officer ,of considerable
Importance, enjoying large emoluments, assisted by a deputy and several
subordinate officers} during the sittings of the House he occupies a chair
below the bar, and be directs a large proportion of the arrangements con>
aected with the maintenance of order in the approaches to the House and
the offices adjacent He Is at once the executive and the ceremonial officer
of the lower House ; but his discretionary powers are not extensive, for
abnost all his more important duties are performed under the immediate
direction of the House itself, communicated through the Speaker. The
office is usually held hy a gentleman of the military profesaion, seldom under
the rank of a field officer.
SESSION.— The term session, applied to the sittings of any public assembly,
would be generally understood to signify the period during which they sat
without any intermission or recess j but in Parliamentary language it has a
more extensive signification. Unless Parliament be prorogued, the session
is not dosad. The House of Commons takes care to limit to one year the
duration of certain acts of nu'liament, such as the Mutiny Act, all statutes
authorising the levy of taxes, &c., without which tlie Government of the
country could not be carried on, and the Crown, therefore, is compelled to
resort to an annual assemblage of Parliament, which usually takes place in
the beginning of February, though special circumstances may sometimes lead
to ttM appointment of an earUer period. Fourteen days at least, but generally
thirty or forty days previous to the intended meeting, a proclamation ia
issued by the Crown, commanding the attendance of the Lords and Commons,
usimlly at Westminster ; but it may be at any place within the United King-
dom. The Hottiet being assembled, the Sofereign meeta tbem In the How

of Lardif and delivers a speech. In thU manner does a session commeoce.
The drcumstance of either or both Houses a(!Uouming their sittin|;s, whether
with} or without tlie recommendation of the Crown» does not terminate the
session. To efibct thatj there must be an actual pronation under a royal
commission, or by the Sorereign in person. The progress which a measure
maltes in one session, does not influence its position in the next, or in any
other } for if not completed previous to the prorogation of Parliament, it
must in any following session be commenced ae nono. The mere assemblage
and prorogation are not howerer sufficient of themselves to constitute a
session, imless one bill, at least, have passed both Houses, and received the
Royal assent. The business usually transacted on the first day of every
session U to take into consideration the speech from the throne j but for
" form sake," one bill always receives a first reading, in order, it is said, to
assert a right in the Parliament of not being obliged to give precedence to the
subjects contained in the royal speech. In the year 1763, in 1817, and on
various other occasions, the consideration of the King's speech has been
ddayed by discussions on other subjects, but generally the practice is to
proceed with it at five o'clock in the afternoon, namely, in about two hours
after the speech has been delivered. The usual duration of the session is from
February to August ; but no number or length of adjournments destroys ita
continuity. In the year 1621, the House of Ck>mmons adjourned iu sittings
for five months j but yet it was held that the session liad not terndnated. (See
Interruption of the Sittings of Parliament.)

are the same sm those of any other President of a deliberatiTe assembly. (See
Order.) When Parliament is about to be prorogued, it is customary for the
a^eeker^to address to the Sorereign, in the House of Lords* a speech, re.
oa|>itnlallfig the proceedings of the session.
SPSAKEB^HIS PRIVILEOES, APPOINTMENT, AND RANK.— He Is
dhosen by the House of Commons from amongst its own members, sul^ect to
the appronti of the Crown, and holds his office till the dissolution of the
larllament In which he was elected. His salary is 6Q001. a-year, exduslre of
a ftxmished lestdence. At tbe end of his official labours he Is generally
rewarded 1^ a peerage, and a penslMi of 40001. fbr two lirex. He is a member
of tite Frtvy Council, and entitled to rank after Barons. When forty members
are not present, he may adjourn the House without ieare (see Adjournment).
Generally speaking, buafaiess cannot be transacted in his absence, though to
0iis rule there was an exception in the year 1606, a prisoner being released by
Older of the House during the Illness of a Speaker. Should a member
persevere in breaches of order, the i^peaker may ** name " him, as It Is called,
aooone uniformly followed by the censure of the House. In extreme caiea
the Speaker may order members or others into custody until the pleasure
of the House be signified (aee Committals). On dirlsions, when the numl)er8
happen to be equal, he gives tbe casting voice, but he never otherwise
votes.
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.— The Lord CfaanceUor U the
keeper of the great seal, and by virtue of that office he becomes on the bare
ddivery of the seal to him t^ the Sovereign, Speaker of the House of Lords.
Be is usually, but not necessarily a peer. There has always been a Deputy
S^ker, and sometimes two. The Chairman of Committees generally fills
the latter office (see Chairman of Committees on Commons). In the absence
of the Lord Chancellor and of the Deputy Speaker, it is competent to the
Honae to appoint any noble Lord to take the woolsack. The Speaker is the
oigan or mouthpiece of the House, and it therefore is his duty to represent
their Lordships in their collective capacity when holding intercourse with
other public bodies or with individuals. He has not a casting vote upon
diTlaUmi, for should the numbers prove equal, the not contents prevail. (See
ftfrmkar of tbe House of Commons, duties o^ privileges oL) The Deputy
Tiffnlrrr of tbe Lords li appointed hf the Crown. (See Order, aa also Order in
the Lords.)

SUPPLY (COMMITTEE OF>-^All proceedings wlil<di relate to the publit
income or expenditure, must originate vlth the House of Commons, and the
initiative to the latter consists of resolutions moved In a Committee of
Supply, which is always a Conmiiltee of the whole House. In the course
of the session, estimates are mbmitted to a Committee of Supply, and resolu.
tions moved therein, granting to the Crown the sums requisite for defraying
the expense attendant upon the various branches of the public service. Those
resolutions having been considered and disposed of, such amongst them a*
may be affirmed, are reported to the House, reconsidered, and adopted or
rejected. Under authority of those to which the House agree, the Lords of
the Treasury issue the requisite ftinds for carrying on the service of the
country. At the end of the session, the supply resolutions are consolidated
in the Appropriation Bill, which is sent up to the Lords, and being there
coxuidered and decided on, receives the Royal assent, and becomes law. The
Lords may r^ect this or any other money bill { but it would be considered an
invasion of the privileges of the Commons if their Lordships were sub-
stantially to modify measiues of this class ; the Commons, however, do not
olilect to consider any verbal emendations which may be made I7 the other
House. Before any bill can be introduced, authorising expenditure of public
money, resolutions must be moved in Committee of Supply, agreed to there,
reported, and confirmed by the House.
THESE MONTHS (THIS DAY).— See Avoidance of a Decision.
YACATINO SEATS.— See Chiltern Hundreds.
WAYS AND MEANS (COMMITTEE OF).— As the Committee of Supply
(which see) relates to the expenditure of the nation, so the iunctlons and
duties of a Committee of Ways and Means; have reference to the fUnds by
which such expenditure is to be sustained. Loans, duties, taxes, tolls, re-
venue and imposts of every description, are submitted to a Committee of
Ways and Means (which is always one of the whole House). The pro.
positions of Government on these subjects are reduced to the form of resolu.
Uons, considered, decided on } and such as are agreed to, reported to the
House. Those which may be there adopted are embodied Into Mils, and in
due course become law. As in the case of supply, the Lords may eject, but
cannot modify } neither can their Lordships insert pocuniaiy penalties in aaj
bUl whatever.

the temporary address of every Member is registered.
